A lot of good can get done on a Saturday morning!

Acadia National Park was created by the individual efforts of people who loved this place and were motivated to care for it. Today, you can be a part of this legacy by volunteering in the park with Friends of Acadia.

Whether you volunteer for a few hours, a few months, or year after year, you’ll see a new side of Acadia, feel a deeper connection to the park, and leave this national treasure a little better than you found it.

Join our signature volunteer events: Help pick up roadside debris during Earth Day Roadside Cleanup every April and rake leaves on the carriage roads during Take Pride in Acadia Day every November.

Many hundreds of volunteers contribute thousands of hours through the year on essential projects. Together, they make a real and lasting difference for Acadia National Park. There are many ways to put your skills and interests to work, from dropping in to do trail work, chatting up park visitors at our Membership Table, or hiking soil to a mountain summit.
